Hello,

We are running Networker 7.1.2 for Linux for our server and are using a
Scalar 100 by ADIC tape subsystem.   I have scripts cron'd to fire off
and do my clone jobs (load and label tapes, start the clone process,
unload the tapes, load the tapes for the next day, etc.).   I
occasionally end up with the mailbox (ADIC's term for the slot that you
use to insert and remove tapes) getting a software lock.   ADIC has
replaced some parts and says it is coming from Legato.  I spoke to
Legato tech support and asked about checking for error levels in scripts
and they said they don't support scripting.    That answer seemed odd
considering the help system talks about scripting the save command.   

Does anyone have any suggestions for scripting NSRJB commands to avoid
contention (I've tried the wait command but that didn't appear to make a
difference, not sure if it is spawning the job or what)?   Thank you for
any assistance in this.   It is pretty much a lights out operation if I
could figure this portion out.
